See “DIC Info Page Options” earlier in this section.
Speed: Shows the vehicle speed in either kilometres per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph). A speed limit sign can also be shown if equipped.

Trip A or Trip B: Shows the current distance travelled, in either kilometres (km) or miles (mi), since the trip odometer was last reset.
This also shows the approximate average litres per 100 kilometres (L/100 km) or miles per gallon (mpg). This number is calculated
based on the number of L/100 km (mpg) recorded since the last time this menu item was reset. This number reflects only the approximate average fuel economy that the vehicle has right now, and will change as driving conditions change.
Press and hold V while this display is active to reset the trip odometer and the average fuel economy. Trip A and Trip B can also be reset by pressing p and choosing reset.
Fuel Range: This shows the approximate distance the vehicle can be driven without refuelling. LOW will be displayed when the vehicle is low on fuel. The fuel range estimate is based on an average of the vehicle’s fuel economy over recent driving history and the amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank.

Remaining Oil Life : This shows an estimate of the oil’s remaining useful life. If REMAINING OIL LIFE 99% is displayed, that means 99% of the current oil life remains.
When the remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message will appear on the display. The oil should be changed as soon as possible. In addition to the engine oil life system monitoring the oil life, additional maintenance is recommended in the Maintenance Schedule.

Programming the Universal Remote System
Programming involves time-sensitive actions and may time out, requiring the procedure to be repeated. Read these instructions completely before programming the Universal Remote system. It may help to have another person assist with the programming process.

  1. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter about 3 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in) away from the Universal Remote system buttons with the indicator light in view.T
    he hand-held transmitter was supplied by the manufacturer of the garage door opener receiver.
  2. Press and release one of the three Universal Remote system buttons to be programmed. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button. Do not release the hand-held transmitter button until the indicator light changes from a slow to a rapid flash or continuous light. Then release the hand-held transmitter button.
    Some garage door openers may require the substitution of Step 2 with the procedure under “Radio Signals for Some Gate Operators” later in this section.
  3. Press and hold the newly programmed Universal Remote system button for five seconds while watching the indicator light and garage door activation.
    • If the indicator light stays on
    • continuously or the garage door moves when the button is pressed, then programming is complete. There is no need to complete Steps 4–6.
    • If the indicator light does not come on or the garage door does not move, a second button press may be required. For a second time, press and hold the newly programmed button for five seconds. If the indicator light stays on continuously or the garage door moves when the button is pressed, then programming is complete. There is no need to complete Steps 4–6.
    • If the garage door does not move, continue with programming Steps 4–6.
      Learn or Smart Button
  4. After completing Steps 1–3, locate the Learn or Smart button inside garage on the garage door opener receiver. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.
  5. Press and release the Learn or Smart button. Step 6 must be completed within 30 seconds of pressing this button.
  6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained Universal Remote system button for two seconds and release. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence up to three times to complete the training process.

The Universal Remote system should now activate the garage door. Repeat the process for programming the remaining two buttons.
For questions or programming help, see www.homelink.com/gm or call 1-800-355-3515. For calls placed outside the U.S., Canada, or Puerto Rico, international
rates will apply and may differ based on landline or mobile phone.
Radio Signals for Some Gate Operators Some gate operators and radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to time out or quit after several seconds of transmission.
This may not be long enough for the Universal Remote system to pick up the signal during programming. If the programming did not work, replace Step 2 under “Programming the Universal Remote System” with the following

Radio Signals for Some Gate Operators
